Amora Gedel 大多为运动攀岩 38 线路 在 区域中

Armora Gedel (Hawk’s Cliff) is a 40 to 50m basalt, southeast-facing cliff located in the Entoto Mountains next to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The wall is mostly high-quality basalt and offers steep faces, cracks, crimpers, pockets, aretes and roofs! Climbing season (dry season) in the Ethiopian central highlands runs from mid-September to early June. The entire cliff is in the shade, usually after 1pm, and the sun goes down at 630pm year round. A small group of expat climbers started setting routes in March 2013. As the climbing community in Addis Ababa grows, new route development has continued well into 2016. From the beginning, climbers have tried to integrate the local community as much as possible and negotiated a small climbers fee of 5 birr ($0.25) per climber per day with Ato Alemayu, who leases and farms the land below the cliff. In return, Alemayu is responsible for keeping the children from throwing rocks over the cliff (helmets are highly recommended) and for maintaining general order for rock climbers. At the beginning of each dry season, climbers should negotiate with Alemayu and his family to maintain the trails at the base of the walls. All routes are equipped with two-bolt anchors with chains, slings or at least quick links to lower or abseil. A 60m rope is mandatory. Some climbs on Adwa Wall require 70m to reach the ground. Sport climbers should carry a minimum of 12 quickdraws and trad climbers, a full-rack. The village of Kile is located above the crag. Here dozens of families, whose native tongue is Oromifa, live and farm the adjacent lands. Please respect the farmers and their fields. In Kile, climbers can find water, beer, soft drinks, coffee and sometimes snacks. With the right amount of communication skills, climbers could probably negotiate a meal of injera and wot. The giant fig tree below the walls offers an excellent place to camp. Negotiate firewood and beer in the village before going down. Expect to pay 100 birr per bundle of firewood, which includes delivery. For a more intense and interactive experience, climbers can set up their tents in the village for 40 birr per tent. We recommend Werke’s compound. Several Kile children began climbing with us in 2013 and then received shoes and harnesses through donations. If you visit, please allow them to climb on toprope and give them positive encouragement! Refrain from giving gifts to children, because it creates fierce competition. If you want to help a village, go to Kile and work it out with adults or choose another village.
